I made this for the dressing only. So I’m revising on the dressing. I happen to have all the ingredients on hand and was looking for a cream pasta salad dressing. Based on reviews I used less vinegar and mustard. Upon tasting the dressing first to see if I wanted to add more vinegar and mustard it was VERY vinegary. Once adding the pasta and all my veggies and Parmesan I could have used the whole amounts of the ingest and mustard but it was still tasty!
